Okayama anpassad halvdagstur med licensierad lokal Guide
Beskrivning
Denna prisvärda resa med en statligt licensierad och erfaren flerspråkig tour Guide är ett fantastiskt och effektivt sätt att utforska Okayama! Okayama Citys juvel är Korakuen Garden, som anses vara en av Japans tre bästa trädgårdar. Du kan njuta av rosa körsbärsblommor på våren, flerfärgade lönnträd på hösten och den kråksvarta exteriören på närliggande Okayama Castle året runt. Okayama fungerar också som en transportknutpunkt som förbinder Shinkansen med järnvägstrafik på Shikoku Island.

Resplan
Okayama Castle (岡山 城, Okayamajō), även känd som "kråkeborg" på grund av dess svarta yttre, byggdes 1597 i stil med Azuchi-Momoyama-perioden. Det ursprungliga slottet förstördes under det sista året av andra världskriget, men en rekonstruktion gjordes 1966. Slottet ligger vid floden Asahi, som användes som vallgrav. Korakuen Garden ligger tvärs över floden. Endast en av Okayama-slottets ursprungliga byggnader undkom förstörelse under kriget, Tsukimi Yagura ("månvisnings tornet"), som går tillbaka till 1620. Det finns också rekonstruktioner och upptäckta fundament av några andra tidigare byggnader, som hjälper till att illustrera den tidigare omfattningen av slottkomplexet.
Korakuen (後 楽 園, Kōrakuen) är en vacker landskapsträdgård och Okayamas främsta attraktion. Tillsammans med Kanazawas Kenrokuen och Mito's Kairakuen rankas Korakuen som en av Japans tre bästa landskapsträdgårdar. Det ligger precis bredvid Okayama Castle, som kan ses från trädgården som "lånat landskap". Den lokala feodala herren beordrade byggandet av Korakuen 1687 som en underhållningsplats för den härskande familjen och en plats för att ta emot viktiga gäster. Ibland fick allmänheten komma in i trädgården.
Kibi Plain (吉 備 路, Kibiji) är en charmig, lantlig plattland precis utanför centrala Okayama City som är täckt av spretande fält och prickade med helgedomar, tempel och små kluster av bondgårdar. Slätten utforskas bäst från en attraktiv cykelleder som besöker flera historiska sevärdheter längs vägen. Under 400-talet var Kibi-slätten mitten av Kibi-kungariket, en forntida klan som kontrollerade mycket av modernt Okayama-prefektur och vars makt konkurrerade mot den dominerande Yamato-klanen i dagens Nara-prefektur. Några historiska sevärdheter relaterade till kungariket, som stora gravhögar och några helgedomar, finns spridda runt slätten.
Vår absoluta favoritplats för körsbärsblomning i Okayama var inte Korakuen eller floden Asahi, utan den magiska Handayama botaniska trädgården. Denna sluttningsträdgård har utsikt över staden och otroliga 1000 körsbärsträd - de sträcker sig vidare och du känner dig helt nedsänkt i blomningarna. Bäst av allt, denna dolda pärla är inte mycket trångt (även på en solig helg i full blom). Det finns gott om gräsytor att ligga tillbaka och titta på blommorna eller njuta av en picknick.
Nishigawa Canal Park är inte en av de bästa turistattraktionerna i Okayama, men det är ett trevligt ställe att jogga eller promenera, särskilt under säsongen med körsbärsblommor. Kanalen går genom staden och är kantad med blommor, körsbärsträd och skulpturer med bänkar för att sitta och njuta av dem.
Kurashiki är den mest populära dagsutflykten från Okayama och det är bara 20 minuters tågresa bort. Det är stadens Bizan Historical Quarter som lockar besökare. Detta pittoreska område har traditionella japanska hus och en kanal kantad av gråtande pilträd. Området går tillbaka till 1600-talet när det var en viktig plats på Japans rishandelsväg. Ris fördes dit på pråmar på kanalerna och förvarades sedan i lagerhus innan det fraktades iväg till städerna. Förråden med sina vita väggar och svarta kakel har bevarats och är nu butiker och caféer.

Have an idea about what sort of things you would like to do before you go and all will be accommodated time permitting. Our Gide Sam was wonderful and knowledgeable. He was pround to show us his city and quirky little parts we would never have found by ourselves. We asked for a lunch recommendation and we delighted in his surprise local eatery that served up Okayama delights!
It was indeed brisk and breathtaking that we enjoyed every minute of the tour. When we visited Korakuen Garden, we were heartily welcomed by the cranes' awesome crying, scorched lawn, fragrant scent of plum blossoms, and bitter taste of tea leaves. I also had you face the fact that Okayama-jo Castle stands on a "mountain" with a height of about 7 meters! For lunch, time management might have been a bit difficult, but we succeeded in enjoying the authentic soybean curd cuisine. It was worth trying. I was wrapped with your warmth and generosity, and this experience gave me a long-lasting satisfaction. Sam
Involves a lot of walking,so enough time needed.plan lunch at the gardens. Don't forget a SICA card.
As part of a 5-hour Okayama tour, we visited Okayama Castle, Korakuen Garden, and the Kurashiki Historic Area. What the guest said was very informative. Since lunch is one of the pleasures of the tour, where to have it should be well discussed between the tourists and the guide.
A very organise tour, from the prompt pick up at meeting place (train station) to drop off at our accommodation. Our guide, Naoki has wealth of knowledge regarding the area and it's history, he covered a lot of ground in an allocated 4hr time frame.
Thank you very much for your friendly review! It was a great pleasure for me to show you around my hometown. I appreciate your choice to visit Okayama. And it was very nice to talk with you. Have a good trip further! Naoki
Highly recommend the half day tour and our wonderful guide, Hisao Kaji. He accommodated our requests and was very knowledgeable with excellent English. Thank you Hisao!
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am truly honored. I am very happy to know that you enjoyed the tour. You were both very kind and friendly, so it made me guide you with relaxed and pleasant feeling as well. I hope you will visit Japan again to explore more wonderful places. Best regards. Thank you. Kaji
A wonderful day with Yoko in Okayama. She was in touch several times before the date to plan the day. Meeting place was easy. Was great getting local knowledge and conversation . Would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in the history and special places of Okayama.
Thank you very much for your nice review. I also enjoyed a beautiful spring day with you. Yoko
Yoko was an excellent guide. She answered all of my questions beforehand and was competent and considerate throughout the day. Arigato!
Thank you for your nice review. You are very active and take nice photos. I was very happy to guide you. Now you stay in Nara, don't you? I am sure the event in Nara is very nice for you. Yoko
We had a great tour with our guide, Ray. She was very nice, helpful and easy to talk to. She went out of her way to help us find a quaint pottery shop called Sobian near the Okayama Railway Station. We ended up buying two special Bizen teacups. Thanks to Ray, we had a wonderful tour of Okayama Castle and Korakuen. We especially enjoyed seeing the Ted-Crowned Cranes, the beautiful and serene garden, and meandering along the winding paths viewing the tea trees, plum groves, ponds and bridges. Thank you Ray for a wonderful visit to Okayama. Aloha! Your friends from Hawaii, Steve and Louise.
Thank you for a nice, heart-warming comment for our tour! It was truly my pleasure to show you around in my hometown. It was a great experience to be your guide. It was delightful to share the moment of appreciating beauty and charm of Korakuen Garden with you! Through the eyes of tourists, we can get a renewed appreciation of familiar places. I visited Korakuen Garden many times, but I was able to look at a house in the garden from the new perspective. I mean, you were the first guest who asked about the second floor of the structure with a stream, which survived the air raid. (Do you remember the house called “Ryuten”?) Until then , I was never conscious of the second floor, just focusing on the stream. It is true that your curiosity and enthusiasm made the tour more exciting. I also appreciate your getting interested in Bizen-yaki-potteries. I feel sorry I could not help you to the last moment of your shopping, but looks like you could get nice products there. I am glad to hear that. I hope the memory of our tour will stay long in your mind and , if you have another chance to visit Japan, think about the tour to Bizen area to explore and find more about potteries. I hope our paths will cross again, someday! Thank you! From your friend in Japan
Very easy to book, quick response from guide who offered immediate assistance and itinerary planning assistance. Guide reconfirmed upon our arrival in Okayama and was very punctual on the day. She conducted a very informative and delightful experience for us based on our special interest.
I am grateful to you for giving us a very nice comment! It was my pleasure that I could spend a day with you, talking about history, culture, politics. You had good knowledge and interest about Japan, which I really appreciate. I was very lucky to have nice people like you as guests. I hope some day you will have another chance to visit Japan and explore some other fascinating spots! Thank you! Ray
The park was absolutely beautiful. The tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful. The city was okay and interesting as well. Thank you
I really appreciate your visit to our area. Thank you for listening to my explanation so eagerly. I was really glad that you liked the garden and showed interest in our history. Moreover, we had a good conversation about various topics, and I was impressed by your insightful comments on education. I hope you enjoyed your stay on the island as well! If you ever get another chance, please explore different spots. Thank you! Ray
Ray (Reiko Takemaru) was an amazing guide who showed us the Okayama Castle and the Korakuen garden. She was excited to show us the famous sites of the city she grew up in! She spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable about the history and significance of each site. The tour helped us dive deeper into the history and the culture of Okayama. My husband and I enjoyed the tour very much!
